p e r s o n a l i t y

AUDACIOUS:
reckless. daring. bold. all of which candor possesses, even if he himself is unsure of it. candor seems numb to consequences. not once do they ever cross his mind. instead he'll happily obey his instincts and make do of any situation.

APATHETIC:
candor has the ability to keep his facial expressions completely unscathed by emotion, forcing those surrounding him to believe almost nothing phases him in the slightest. but despite the wondering of others, candor actually manages to spread a menacing smile or two in attempts to rid himself of the aspect of apathy. but apparently, its just taunting.

UNPREDICTABLE:
like a flick of a switch [as some humans say] Candor's general serene personality can be sent into a turbulence ending in the sickest displays. seemingly nothing the omen ever does is envisioned by others. for most of his mind had been left unexplored by those suffering to know what lies within - including himself. of course, these usual eccentricities are only a fragment of what the male is capable of - or so everyone fears.

DELUSIONAL DISORDER:
if it had been anyone else claiming to have seen bloody figures of canines standing before them, half the population would have called them insane. but in candor's case, it seems more like a natural part of life. as though all his claims were actually reality. of course, none of them are. instead these figures and odd sights are simply a product of a disorder which had been passed through genetics.

LOVES CANINES:
despite contently terrorizing them for his own satisfaction, Candor actually wields some sort of abnormal love toward ninety nine percent of the canine race. in his mind, as long as his love extends to reach them he and they are connected. of course this love will almost always remain unilateral - for who could come to love something as deranged as candor? - this is where candor's masochist side of his persona comes out to play, because contrary to his love of others, he'll always distance himself. which wounds him deeply.

SOMEBODY SAID FIRST AID?:
an obsession of his which had to be described in greater detail - candor as an odd canine seems to always feel the desire to dissect others. and he shows know intentions of hiding this twisted fetish. instead he'll openly as to play doctor. and thus, he gained his alternative name of doctor [or doc].

CRAFTY:
with every meticulous move candor makes comes an inferior motive. and although it seems that everything the creature does is done without a second thought, its not. candor actually spends hours planning ahead of time. calculating the possible answer, the maybes and the do nots. in other words - candor is extremely strategic.

OBSERVANT:
candor had never been much of a doer. instead he is characertized as an observer, and a fine one at that. if his interests were to lie elsewhere he wouldn't be as informed as he is now days. but even so his wish to perceive hadn't blossomed from laziness - instead it had grown to be a past time to get him through the day, the quirks just came with the hobby.

INDEPENDENT:
candor had always been dependent on one creature - himself. this outcome had not evolved from an issue with trust, nor authority. but simply because among the entire population of the globe, candor believes wholeheartedly that there is no one with a mentality to match his own. there had been those who fell close to his category, but no one had ever managed to fully step inside. forcing him to result to distancing himself from a young age.

SADISTIC:
Candor is infamous for being acquainted with sadism. Often abating to the perverse desire of harming another for his own satisfaction. At one stage this had been his hobby but now days it serves as an obsession. Shaping him into a lowly creature who will severe ties with his only companion simply for the pleasure of watching them diminish into depression.

one could call candor's personality slightly abnormal without much need for thoughts and pondering. however his looks are nothing short of the ordinary. both parents had the genetics and blood of pure border collies, so it's only expected for the male to harvest a cloak of black and white and the same deceiving innocence as that of his parents and siblings. and in spite of being a stray [typically a feral. due to his nature] canine for a majority of his life candor's coat is immaculate - as is his body structure. unlike his fellow feral friends, candor has managed to upkeep his appearance with time and patience. some may call him grandiose, or vain for caring so much about the insignificant details however even candor believes that the damnedest of dogs should be able to live their lives to the highest degree - which includes appearance.

as for his actual build. candor is stereotypically lean, but also slightly masculine. his entire being had been made for weaving and agile tasks but his lifetime status of feral had altered this slightly. instead he has gained more muscle upon his bones. just enough to benefit, yet not enough to make him look depositional.

let's take a trip down memory lane.

anyone would have expected candor to be the product of abuse or misconduct. but up until the separation of his parents, candor had actually lived a life of apparent luxury, hidden within the walls of a human estate. in fact he had grown to become the jewel of the bloodline, often respected for his wits and diligence. along with the ability to socialize in the manner of a gentleman. but in spite of his status, neither his parents nor siblings exposed candor to any emotional form of love or hate. his day to day life consisted of waking up each morning to withdrawal and silence. and to often he had been found observing from the sidelines, watching everything unfold from afar rather than crawling in the midst of things.

at this point - the male had even adopted his own philosophy of 'never being too close, nor too far'. this gave strangers and onlookers the impression that he had reached his potential, and could no longer be considered and general member of the population. in their eyes, he was a has been, a would be - and also a ticking time bomb waiting for the correct moment to detonate. yet little did they know, candor actually enjoyed being one step away, yet one step ahead. he absorbed knowledge and understanding continuously, his lack of social interaction proving to be a positive aspect of his being. but still, he had never looked down upon the lesser scum. he was merely a mutual observer. at this point, none of his evolving hobbies had turned ill mannered but through the arrival of his first birthday came the arrival of his misfortune.

never once in all of his dreams had he desired to venture outside the gates of the estate. the world to him was foreign, despite all the knowledge he had gained. of course, it was only when he found himself staring through the iron barred gate that the canine realized that ever since he could remember, he had always lived by a system of rules. and one of them had been - do not, under any circumstances venture outside the 'den'.but still, as candor stood face to face with the barrier to his freedom he couldn't help but to feel a magnetic pull of curiosity. and with that, he stepped forth into reality. thus exposing his fathers dirty little secrets, and later exposing himself to the cruel wickedness of this world.

to this day,
candor still remains confused, bewildered even by the ideals of which his father had lived by. however candor had sworn himself to secrecy, simply because his memory could not be probed any longer. in other words - from the date of his first birthday to the present, candor has no memory whats so ever. everything was a little less than a blur. a whirlwind of muddled history.

some suspect candor of lying. and others suspect self induced amnesia. candor however, is content knowing little to nothing about his previous life. as now days, he'll simply live by the laws of being a feral dog, living in a feral world.

* i categorized candor as a feral due to his termperment. he did however spend some time with humans in his first year. then later on adopted his current personality as he adapted to life as a stray, uh. yeah. c : sorry the entire form is a little off, i've been on haitus for ageees. oh & if you do not agree with him being a feral, i'll gladly have him set a stray male instead. sorry for the bother.
